An Inpeninns Libel.

The cuteness of the heather Chinee was
strikingly exempliied the other day at
Shanghai. A Chinaman having a grudge
against another wrote an article full of vio-
lent personal attack and imputation, and
took it to one after the other of the two
native papers. Both refused to insert what
was clearly hbelous document The China
man retired and thought the matter over.
The next day he went to one of the papers
and offered them an advertisement, simply
saying that person of entirely bad char
acter had committed such crimes. As no
name, date or other indication of personality
was given the advertisement was accepted
and inserted.
Upon the following day an advertisement
appeared in the other paper to the effect that
the person who inserted the first advertise
ment ought to be ashamed of himself for
blackening the character of so good man as
so-and-so-mentioning the name and abode of
the person defamed-thereby calling the at
tention of the Chinese reading public to the
libelous attack The victim found that he
could obtain no redress whatever. He could
not bring an action against the first paper,
for there was neither name nor address given,
and be had no proof whatever that it referred
to him., Still less could he obtain damages
from the other paper, since their advertise
nent was of a complimentary character and
he had no cause whatever to complain Of it
The idea is a highly ingenious one, but we
should question whether, in an English court
of law, the person who inserted the two ad-
vertisements would find his position alto
gether npregnable.-London Standard.

Alive with q Broken Neck.

1t has generally been supposed by those un-
familiar with medical and surgical science
that man cannot 1--we with a broken neck.
Considerable interest is manifested in the case
Of Andrew Hamilton, who, according to
dispatch from Baraboo, Wis, had his neck
broken in Evansville, Wis, last Sunday and
is still alive The dispatch concluded with
the statement: "This is supposed to be the
first case on record of a person living so long
with broken neck" On account of the Gu
riosity and interest felt in what appears to be
an extraordinary case reporter called on
DR. P s. Connor, the eminent surgeon, who
has had great experience in all such fract-
ures
ais this case so wonderful, doctorF'
"rhat depends upon where his neck was
broken. If it was above the point Of the
phrenic nerve death would result instantane-
ously or within a very short time. This was
probably a fracture of the lower vertebrs,
which causes paralysis. There are cases on
record of this character, and are not uncom-
mon. One man lived eleven days, another
fifteen weeks, another four months, another
fifteen months, and still another fourteen
years. A dislocated neck does not necessarily
produce death, unless the spinal cord is
snapped am satisfied that in the case you
mention the fracture was below the second
cervicle, and the injured man is a victim Of
paralysis People live with broken backs,
and when the compression of the spinal cord
has not been severe injured men have recov-
cred from dislocated necks All the patients
l ever had whose necks were broken above
the phrenic nerve have invariably died 1t
is impossible for them to survive"
"How about men who are legally hanged?"
ain my opinion very few of them have
their necks broken. They die Of strangula-

Outlook Over Toronto.

From the top of the tower Of the great uni
versity there is an excellent outlook over To
ronto. In front and spreading at our feet is
the broad, bright cricket green, with the town
stretching away on either hand and running
down to the edge Of the lake, across which is
the narrow streak made by the low lying
island that bounds the harbor. Beyond are
the sparkling waters of Lake Ontario, reach
ing out to the horizon to right and left, while
far away over them, directly southwark, is
seen faint little silver cloud of spray, rising
from the falls of Niagara All about us the
busy town Is scattered, It's broad, straight
streets crossing at right angles; its red and
and white brick buildings, in clusters or en-
bosomed in foliage; its many steeples and
spires rising above them.
Far off in the northern background the land
rises up In pretty hills 200 to 800 feet high,
with villas dotted upon their green fields and
wooded slopes. The picture is like map,
showing thrift and prosperity, while in every
direction the incomplete buildings, with men
toiling about them like little busy ants, and
the gentle, distant noise of the builders ham,
mer and trowsl, tell of the growth of the
vigorous city. Such is Canada's Queen
City," and probably in most respects the best
type the Dominion to-day presents of sue
cessful and expanding municipality.

The Pay of Some Ministers.

Mr. Beechef, who has just returned from
England, had. by the way, q very successful
trip, financially and otherwise He has a
salary of $4,000 year from Plymouth
church, and refused a substantial increase
which was at one time suggested; he earns
some $15, 600 year by his lectures, and has a
moderate income as an author. Formerly
he received q salary of IS 900 year as an
editor. No clergyman in the United States
has ever received so large pecuniary return
from hts labors as Mr.. Beeoher. In single
year he has earned ever CSC, 900, yet he has
only very moderate fortune
His former friend, DR.. Storrs, has an in
come of about s15, 900 year as a clergyman
and lecturer, lives in fine style on Brooklyn
Heights, one Of the finest urban localities in
this country, and Is said to be worth $3.50, 900.
He is well meaning man, and Spresident of
the Long Island Historical society, to which,
in his life Of busy idleness, he devotes consid-
cradle attention. He is l believe, one of the
wealthiest clergymen in Brooklyn. In New
York the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix, the son Of
the late Gen. Dix, IS understood to have a
fortune Of 5000 One of the clerical pets
Of the late alf-dementei Mrs Morgan, the
sale Of whose art effects made such a furor,

OUR BELOVED DEAD.

They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
I cannot tell how it might he
In other hOmes-but this | know:
Could my lost darling come to me,
That she would never fad it so.
Oft-times the flowers have come and
gone,
Oft-times the winter winds have blown,
The while her peaceful rest went On,
And have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave, or whether gay,
L hide her memory in my heart.
Fond. faithful love has blest my way, =
And friends surround me true and
tried;
They have their place-but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
II w would spring with bated breath,
And JOY too deep for word or sigp,
To take my darling home from death,
And once again to call her minel
dare not dream the bliSsful dream,
1t fills my heart with " lid unrest:
While yonder cold white marbles CLEAN
She sill must slumber-God know $
best.
But this know. That those who say

THE OHIO Wool Growers Convention,
in session last week, passed resolutions
presenting some strong facts relative to
the wool industry in Ohio, which argue
FIR an increase ID the tariff. The state.
+ment of the Association is as follows:
"Tbe attention of the people of this
State and of the whole country is drawn
10 the rapid define under the tariff of
1883 of the great industry in which we
are engaged, and which has added to the
wealth of the country. in prosperous
times not less than SI5O000,000 annual
ly. Official statistics show an actual de-
crease in the number of sheep in this
State since the act of 1888 of $50 900
head. and falling off in the wool prot
duct of 100000 pounds this year as
compared with the year 1888. From
extensive correspondence and the best
official information to be obtained
there has been corresponding loss in
the whole country of not less than 81
O00, 900 head and 2OOOO,000 pounds of
wool, which is an anDual and an increas-
ing loss. Whilst our own product is
thus decreasing the Importation of for
eign wool is rapidly increasing. The
value of the increased importation
during the last year ending June 80,
1887. is fraction over SS per cent tabove
the importation of the preceding year,
and this increase is chiefly in clothing
and combing wool. We deny the right
of Congress to strike down and destroy
a great and growing Industry by its leg+
islation, as was done IN the act of 1888,
and we insist that our industry be
placed upou the same footing occuried
under the Act of 1877 and the amend
ment thereto. When practical wool
growers, men engaged in the business.
have heretofore presented to Congress
their views showing the dangerous ten.
dency of legislation to this industry they
have been laughed at by theorists in
public life and their fears pronounced
groundless. What will they say now
when confronted with these hard facts.
showing large increase in revenue to
an overfowing treasury and the decay
of one of the largest single industries in
the United States?"
The statement closes with a resolution
asking Congress without distinction of
party to afford at once the necessary re-
lief.

MOVEMENT CURE FOR OBESITY.
How the President is Said to be Getting
His Flesh Reduced.

How the President is Said to be Getting
His Flesh Reduced.
Since he came to the White House the
president has been rapidly gaining flesh until
he aow weighs fifty pounds more than he did
wi en- he was elected. Ee does not take any
e, ercise. He drives out for an airing every
pleasant afternoon in a comfortable carriage,
but the ride doesn't give him any more exer-
else than if he spent so much time In rock
ing chair. He is getting SO fat as to be uncom-
Portable as well as ungainly, and has been in
consultation with a doctor of the Swedish
massage school The doctor does not pre-
scribe any drugs, nor does he use the Banting
system of dieting. He simply recommends
the movement cure and his treatment of the
president is very funny.
First the doctor makes him lie fiat on his
back on the floor, st!ffen himself out with his
arms down at his side and then raise his feet
in the air with his heels together. until his
legs are at an angle of forty-five degrees.
This is repeated several times, and until one
has tried it he cannot realize how difficult and
exhausting it is, for none of the joints in the
body can be moved except those at the hips.
The next movement is 10 raise the feet in the
same position, and move them around in the
air. so that the heels will describe a circle.
This is more difficult still, and none but ac-
complished gynlnasts can do it at the first
attempt.
The third movement is TO stretch out on the
floor, with the face down, and then raise the
body on the hands and toes. After this has
been tried the patient is to stand on the tips
of his toes and fingers, and make motions as
if he were swimming. By going through this
process three times day, at first only few
minutes, and then longer, as the muscles of
the stomach win permit, it is claimed that a
fat man can reduce his flesh with remarkable
rapidity. Washington Cor Omaha Herald.

Won Moltke's Opinion Of Sheridan.

A number of military gentlemen were
discussing in New York the other day the
respective abilities 70 our different soldiers
during the late war. Reference was made
to what the Germans think of our promin-
ent commanders An officer told a story
about somebody conversing with Won Moltke
some American who insisted on categori-
cal answers. He kept saying to Won Moltke
that Sherman was great general Won
Moltke would shrug and give no indorse-
ment The American mentioned Sheridan.
"Ah," said Won Moltke, ''there is a gen.
eral" The American again insisted that
Sherman was a great man in the field.
"Ah," said Won Moltke, with another
shrug, Sheridan is general" Said he:
''Did he not think Sherman was great
narcher and fighterP'
swell, the German strategist meant to
criticise, probably, Sherman's campaign to
the sea. If he had ever met an enemy in
his route he would have been annihilated.
He went off to the sea on kind of brilliant
guess that he could communicate with the
feet there. Behind him the rebels were
invading the north, passing almost through
Tennessee. Sherman did connect, and the
affair looks very brilliant on our pages, but
no precise, mathematical minded general
would indorse movement like that. Ger
tainly Won Moltke would not. ''-"Gath" in
